MAKE NAFTA WORK FOR WORKERS

The Trump administration just told Congress that they will renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). NAFTA has made it easier for corporations to move American jobs overseas, while hurting American workers and abusing workers in Mexico. Now, the administration has the opportunity to make good on Trump's campaign promises of more jobs and better wages. If Trump really is "The Great Dealmaker", it's time for him to make a deal that's truly great for working people, not corporate special interests.
